Britain's ambassador in the United States has described President Donald Trump and his administration as "inept" and "uniquely dysfunctional", according to leaked diplomatic memos published by the Mail on Sunday.
Ambassador Kim Darroch reportedly said Trump's presidency could "crash and burn" and "end in disgrace", in the cache of secret cables and briefing notes sent back to Britain seen by the newspaper.
"We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept," Darroch allegedly wrote in one dispatch.

Do they have any destroyers anymore?
Inept, and yet always seeming to achieve what he sets out to do. Must be maddening for them.
The media is counting on this kind of (made up) continuous crap to doom Trump’s election chances. Count on there being endless “scandals” to come in the next year and a half. The more excited we get about it the more effective it will be. They win...
I choose to ignore it all, so it doesn’t affect me.
Compared to . . . who . . . ?
Just goes to show that career beaurocrats are the same POS’s everywhere.
seems to me the UK is trying to interfere with next year’s election by spreading false information- Maybe we need an investigation! Methinks this ambassador has maybe taken bribes from the left to spread misinformation

Gee, how did that President Trump-bashing work out for Theresa May? (to this ambassador)
They haven’t had a decent Prime Minister since Maggie Thatcher, before that it was Churchill. This is what leftism looks like in the UK.
The U.K. interfered in the 2016 election by spying on the Trump campaign. The big question here is how did this information get leaked? And why now?
Whoever leaked this needs to go to prison
Ha ha ha!
So say the inept U.K. Diplomats that after three years are still ‘negotiating’ with the EU for a Brexit.
Total incompetents yapping like a chihuahua at the ankles of much better men than they.
Says an ambassador from a country who doesn’t have a military worth the turds in my cat’s litterbox.
28 Dec 2016: Sky News: UK ambassador Sir Kim Darroch in charm offensive towards Donald Trump
Sir Kim Darroch praises Trump’s “historic and impressive win” weeks after dismissing him as “an outsider and an unknown quantity”.
By Jon Craig
The ambassador’s original comment, in a leaked memo to the Prime Minister written on the day after the US election, prompted Mr Trump to champion Mr Farage to replace Sir Kim...
And he (Farage) called for Sir Kim to resign as ambassador because he is a “fanatical Europhile and part of the old regime” whose views would be “diametrically opposed to Trump’s”...
In his 9 November memo, leaked to The Sunday Times, Sir Kim told Mrs May that “Trump did the apparently impossible” in winning the White House.
And he said: “It bears repeating that this soon to be President-elect is above all an outsider and an unknown quantity, whose campaign pronouncements may reveal his instincts, but will surely evolve and, particularly, be open to outside influence if pitched right.”...

5 March 2018: New Yorker: Jane Mayer: Christopher Steele, the Man Behind the Trump Dossier
How the ex-spy tried to warn the world about Trump’s ties to Russia
Inevitably, though, word of the dossier began to spread through Washington. A former State Department official recalls a social gathering where he danced around the subject with the British Ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch. After exchanging cryptic hints, to make sure that they were both in the know, he asked the Ambassador, “Is this guy Steele legit?” The Ambassador replied, “Absolutely.”...

yep
Good finds
It would be interesting to know the motivation behind this criticism of Trump. Perhaps the Brexit saga has something to do with it.
